Did anyone of you watched the movie The Social Network? Its the story of Mark Zuckerberg the main founder of Facebook. Its just six years now when he founded the site and millions online are already using it, and now he's just one of the youngest billionaire rank number 35 on Forbes 400! I haven't have much interest in facebook before but lately after watching the movie, it made me curious and envious and inspired! He's just a little kid when he's father have taught him the basics in programming and he's just a student when he started planning to make just an online campus networking site for the students. Unaware that this plan of his will make him known worldwide.. Originally is, it's just an on campus private network site, then he made it intercollegiate then national until it become international! Really if you got brains and motivation just as Mark, you can reach your goals..

hi salem.. did you watch the movie.. it's really a great movie.. the twist is, he's been dump and broken hearted because of his nerd looks and attitude, guess most geniuses have that kind of aura.. lol.. look at Einstein.. But he made use of that feeling of sadness, anger, and frustration to make the girl realize her mistake in hating and dumping him.. But according to the movie it's Mark's fault that the girl hates him so much.. Iv'e been wondering now if the girl already forgive Mark that he is now a certified billionaire.. lol..

I watched this movie. Mark Zuckerberg is a legend because he is so rich when he is so young. He does have some talents. According to this movie, I am not sure whether Mark Zuckerberg is guilty to it or not. It is just not so honorable.
I love China

hi,its all true and it is common to inspire by the people who achieved something.But when it comes to us we list out the priorities,lacking,weaknesses for not achieving something like them.You might know everybody got their own talent,but working hard and fight against failures decide our lives.All can't become Mark,Bill Gates,Warren Buffets,...one should have to express their inner strengths,hard work to stand as a outstanding person in the society.All the best and have a nice time.

I just saw it and I was blown away. I know that some of it is not 100% true, but the basic story is accurate... at least from what I've read in news articles.
I felt it was a great movie, not only in telling the story of how Facebook started, but it had so many other attributes that make great storytelling. The ideas of feeling awkward, feeling rejected, wanting to be cool; betrayal, these are such universal feelings.
That last scene made me very emotional. I won't put any spoilers, but I thought it was a great last scene to show (at least to me) that no matter how successful, he was still someone with a broken heart. It also reminded me just how very young the character was. Very touching.

Yeah. He is the man he wants him to be. Many trials have cross his way but he still make it, and now he is one of the youngest billionaires in the world. Maybe I'll be the next! haha! just kidding.

I watched that movie already. It is very inspiring in a way but you will think is it really his idea or from those twins? Mainly, I think it is the twins' idea and he incorporated something new in his version, which is facebook.
It is another proof that one can really make a living out of the internet. In Mark Zuckerberg's case, he did make his billions out of the web.
